The Spae-Woman has sent a message to your mother, and you must be here to meet her when she comes. A happy meeting to her and you, O Flann of my heart. And I shall leave you a token to give to her. So to-morrow I go to the Queen of Senlabor with the Rowan Berry and I shall bring my Little Red Hen for company, and shall stay only until my sisters are wed to Dermott and Downal, your brothers."
He held himself more erect at the words, a great light in his face. "You are the only one who has always, always been kind to me," she continued, "and I'd give all there is of me to come to you, heart whole, as your wife. But I can't do it, Dermott, I can't do it! I've tried; no one knows how I tried to forget this love in my heart.
Did you ever see such eyes? And who is that with him? Great Heavens," she exclaimed, "it is that pervasive Irishman who was down in North Carolina, Dermott McDermott!" Josef, pale as a statue, had taken a place in the shadow of the box, back from the reach of opera-glasses. His hands trembled, and at times his lips twitched backward, as one who has lost control through too long a strain.
"Thank you, McDermott," Francis answered, with a pleased smile, "you have, indeed, the gift of rhyme." And Katrine knew as Frank spoke that his distrust of Dermott had been laid aside for the present, and that he was in a state of mind to grant anything which Dermott might demand of him. The thought troubled her after she had left them together for the coffee and cigars.
Well done, Gerald! Oh, Gilmerton, you old sweep! Fire, man, fire! Good old Admiral! Dermott, man, what the devil Have at them!" I fairly danced in the heather. A perfect cloud of birds was pouring over the lower part of the line.
I stepped through the window and handed the letter to Dermott, who was falling into line for a fresh game just outside. "That envelope looks terribly official," said Dolly. "What does it all mean?" "I expect it means Aldershot," said Dermott ruefully. "However, I shan't open it till lunch-time."
"In the hall at Ravenel?" Francis repeated, in genuine surprise. Dermott nodded. "Under the sconces on the left of the mantel-shelf." "Ah!" Frank cried. "I remember, a beautiful girl in green. It was found among my father's papers only last year. It was a relic of his life abroad." "Yes," Dermott answered, with a curious smile, "that's just what it was. A relic of his life abroad.
My three companions in the debate were my host, Master Gerald, and another guest in the house, one Dermott, an officer in a Highland regiment. The Admiral ascribed my Sabbath intuition to the working of some inward and automatic monitor; while Dermott, among whose many sterling qualities delicate fancy was not included, put it down to the smell of some special dish indigenous to Sunday breakfast.
Perhaps it was the prescience of coming trouble between them which caused a noticeable pause after the introduction a pause which Dermott courteously broke. "So this is the son," he said. "Sure," he went on, comparing them, "ye've a right to be proud of each other! Ye make a fine couple, the two of you.
But there was no trace of Dermott and Downal. It seemed they had left before daybreak with their horses. Flann went with the grooms to the gate of the town. There they heard from the watchman that the two youths had gone through the gate and that they had told the watchman to tell the grooms that they had gone to take the world for their pillow.
